New details on the dual versions of Fire Emblem If (Japan)
During yesterdays Nintendo Direct presentation we saw a little taste of the latest in the Fire Emblem series in its and now we have a little more information about the two separate versions of the game. The official Japanese website has updated with new information on both version; Fire Emblem If: Black Kingdom and Fire Emblem If: White Kingdom.
Here are some of the details of the differences from each version:
Black Kingdom:
– more difficult version
– more strategizing
– limited experience points and money
White Kingdom:
– easier of the two
– alternate ways of acquiring experience points and money
– more freedom as character grows
There is one more large difference between the two games, the storyline will stay the same until Chapter 6 and then the story will change based on the version you purchased:
Physical version (5,076 yen): Locked into the path of version you purchased. However, you can buy the other story path at a discount (2,000 yen) as DLC.
Digital version (5,076 yen yen): After chapter 6 you will be asked to choose which path you want. Once you’ve chosen a path, the other story path will be permanently locked away until you purchase it as DLC (2,000 yen).
There will also be a Fire Emblem If Special Edition which will include both versions of the game as well as a third version of the game, limited edition art book, and TCG card. This version will set you back 9250 yen.
